<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steve E, post: 37947, member: 2147&quot;]I have been very fortunate and have nothing but good experiences so far.&nbsp; I think this comes from being careful what I buy and who I buy from.&nbsp; I mainly limit myself to buying from 3 dealers who I met years ago and have yet to steer me wrong.&nbsp; Of course I&#039;ve never sold anything so I myself haven&#039;t experienced an actual &quot;ouch&quot; yet.&nbsp; I did feel responsible for causing one though!</p><p><br /></p><p>I had a friend who told me he was very interested in start a coin collection so I asked him to attend a show with me.&nbsp; While I was doing business, he took off on his own to see what looked interesting to him.&nbsp; He wasn&#039;t totally green, he had done his homework and knew exactly what to look for and knew what he wanted.&nbsp; When he returned, smiling, he said he had what he wanted and proceeded to hand me the 2x2.&nbsp; Wow, this guy just dished out $1,200 and got himself an 1800 Draped Bust Dollar graded Fine (a very, VERY nice fine I would say).&nbsp; To make this short, he sent it to PCGS to be certified, came back in a body bag marked &quot;altered&quot;!&nbsp; Double ouch!!&nbsp;&nbsp; The look on his face made me want to go and bury myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Needless to say that was his first and last coin show and last coin purchase.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
